Automate CT
Nikon's Automated CT systems revolutionize industrial quality control by transforming X-ray Computed Tomography from a valuable but slow research tool into an integral, high-speed component of production lines, fully embracing Industry 4.0 methodologies. This advancement is driven by innovations such as high-flux rotating targets for X-ray sources, coupled with sophisticated automation in CT scanning and analysis. These technologies enable samples to be scanned, reconstructed, and evaluated with micron accuracy in mere minutes, facilitating 100% part inspection. The product line offers tailored solutions: Batch CT is designed for failure analysis and quality control laboratories, where Nikon Inspect-X software ensures consistent, repeatable results by saving and recalling comprehensive scan profiles that define X-ray conditions, manipulator positions, imaging settings, reconstruction, and volume analysis parameters, thereby eliminating operator-dependent variability. For production environments demanding fast Takt times, Semi-automated CT significantly reduces operator involvement to just part handling; the system integrates with production databases to automatically identify parts, adjust inspection parameters, and feed results back, often using internal loading systems for efficiency. The pinnacle is In-line CT, offering fully automated, 100% inspection for critical parts with complex internal geometries or material structures. Here, robots seamlessly load and unload parts from conveyors into the CT system via automated doors, with the entire process—from part identification via scanned codes to scanning, analysis, and sentencing—executed automatically based on database recipes, often completing in under a minute per part, with parallel processing capabilities for multiple parts. These systems collectively deliver substantial benefits, including increased productivity, reduced costs, improved product quality through rapid detection of process variations, closed-loop manufacturing with real-time feedback, centralized data for complete traceability, and the deskilling of complex metrology tasks, ultimately providing full control over the production process.
